    About this album

    Cupid & Psyche 85 is the album that made Scritti Politti’s intellectual pop sound dazzlingly immediate. Released in 1985, it recast Green Gartside’s sharp songwriting in gleaming synth-pop and polished studio craft, with perfect singles such as Absolute, Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin) and Perfect Way giving the group its widest reach. Built around crisp rhythms, glossy textures and unusually intricate melodic writing, the record helped define sophisticated mid-’80s pop without losing its conceptual edge. Its influence has endured as one of the era’s most elegant and distinctive electronic pop albums.

    Genre: Pop & Rock
